Sailing on the anguished screeches
of meaningless tones
bathing in the halcyon calm of serenity
gifted and adoringly titled
bearing wisdom knowledge and truth
a character of strength
emblazed with light and courage graced
in cordiality and courtesy
walking the glory of the anointed untainted
so in the hovels of the maladroit where cast spittle's and bile
or the acrid caves of scoundrels and malcontents with poxes
where fevered discontents yelp and yodel like caged racoons
ask me do
who takes the measure of themselves from the wounded and the joyless
